Myst for Windows

Pros: good pics, good puzzles
Cons: no movement, no action, no point???

I dont see what the big deal about myst was...and the release of its sequel. it had cool pictures...but thats all it was....it was still life that would change frames when you moved...i had no motion when walking...the only motion was when you flipped a...

Pros: Nice scenery, intriguing puzzles
Cons: Too static, boring storyline

Myst: You either love it or hate it.

Actually, it should be you either like it a bit or hate it. I have yet to meet any rabid Myst fans, although I have met a lot of people who liked playing it once, and a couple who thought it was too...

Pros: Mentally engaging, some serious puzzles
Cons: Slow, can be difficult and frustrating

I actually finished this game, I think. If you like puzzles, or you like brain teasers, you will love this game. The only reason I finished it was because I was not going to be beaten by a game. The puzzles are interesting, and get progressively...

Pros: nice graphics and sounds
Cons: boring really

First off, even though I found this game boring to a fault, let me say that your mileage may vary. I am very set into a certain genre that I like in games. If its more Diablo or Sim based I am all for it no matter how mindnumbing, or if its in a format...

Pros: intelligent and challenging first person adventure . Weeks of gameplay .
Cons: Puzzles are not overly obvious, so not for the impatient

You are known as "Stranger" and find a book titled "Myst". Curious, you open it and are amazed to see the first page is occupied by a moving image. This is image is of an island, and when you place your hand upon the page to touch it, you are astonished ...

Pros: wonderfully realistic
Cons: confusing, impossible to play, uninteresting

I heard a lot about Myst, how this fantasy game had such great graphics and was "so cool". Being a naturally curious person, I bought it. I was excited, and planned an entire Sunday afternoon to play it. I was soon to be disappointed.
...

Pros: Good graphics
Cons: really difficult

I didn't play this on my PC, but I don't think that it is really that different from the Sega Saturn version that I did play. My problem is that it was a rental. I rented it and had 3 days to play the game and couldn't save anything, because I didn't...

Pros: graphics, challenge
Cons: technical problems

I bought Myst a couple years ago for my PC and soon became extremely irritated and stopped playing entirely. Even on a computer far beyond the specifications of the recommended system, Myst encountered so many glitches as to make it impossible to...

Pros: Non-violent, engrossing.
Cons: Not for those who cannot endure solitude.

I do not expect everyone to love this game. For those who need the action, the blood and guts, the power trip of world domination, "Myst" will be disappointing. However, for those of us who march to a different drummer, those of us who find our...

Pros: Amazing graphics, intricate detail
Cons: Perhaps too intricate, can be hard to follow

OK, I admit it. I cheated and looked up codes and hints on the internet. But my brain just doesn't generally work the way it would need to to figure out this game! You'd think my loved ones know this about me, but I got this for Christmas anyway!
...

Pros: Frisbee Style CD- flys far !!!
Cons: You pay for the game- that's criminal

A great view by the ocean jumps out at you but you are not sure what to do. So, you click just ahead of you to reach a meaningless little switch that, by some stretch of your imagination, opens or closes something somewhere else. What am I doing...

Pros: It's on a shiny CD...
Cons: Its putrid...

In my humble opinion (and once in a while, I am wrong...), Myst is THE single, most overrated game in history. I will admit, for the time of it's release, the graphics were good and it was one of the first games on CDROM but what makes the first of...

Pros: Beautifully judged gameplay. Great use of sound. No learning curve.
Cons: Graphics a little dated. Not for those who prefer action to intellect

To me, Myst is the computer equivalent of a whodunnit novel, with the player as detective.

I love a good puzzle, but with most 'graphical adventure' games, I find that they are either too easy (just an exercise in clicking everything in sight...

Pros: Great puzzles, good sound, good graphics
Cons: It's an old game

When I bought this game it really mystified my mind. I worked on this game for weeks before breaking down and buying a strategy guide to get me started.( I did not use the hole book,only when I couldn't figure out puzzles)

The graphics...

Pros: Great graphics easy game play interface.
Cons: One or two minor bugs in game.

Myst is a very good game but for those with patients and plenty of good ideas. The game is one of intricate problems that must be solved to finish the game. It can provide hours of fun or frustration, as I said it is a game where you must have patients...
